Life is Strange 2 Musings and Theories

I’m concerned about how Chris is going to take all this when the truth comes out. The kid already has a dead mom, alcoholic dad, and essentially no friends. How is he going to feel when he finds out his new friend has been lying to him? If it were me, I know I'd feel incredibly foolish, not to mention angry someone I thought was my friend would keep something like that from me. And-and devastated because it turns out the greatest thing to ever happen to me was a complete lie...

...Oh, dang, I'm getting emotional. I just don't want Chris to resent the Diaz brothers, or for Chris to get hurt because he tries to use his 'powers'.

I will say that a part of me is kinda glad Chris doesn't know it's Daniel doing all this. It means Chris is hanging out with him because he likes HIM, not because Daniel has powers (which I was also concerned about, tbh). And the fact Daniel keeps involving Chris with all this bodes well in terms of whether Chris will have a huge role in both the episode itself and the rest of the season overall.

Cause now he KNOWS. He might not know it's Daniel doing all this but he knows powers are a thing in real life now. It's not like Max who could tell someone and then rewind so they won't remember. There's no re-do here. As such, I can see two scenarios developing in Episode 2:

1. Chris gets hurt/dies (please please no) and Daniel learns his powers aren't to be taken lightly. He and Sean run away again, and Chris becomes this kind of ghost that the brothers think about periodically in later episodes. Daniel never again tells anyone about his powers.

2. Daniel gets involved with an altercation between Chris and Charles, and he either accidentally hurts/kills Charles. To be honest I find this the more likely scenario, but with numerous ways it could end up going:

a. Chris is furious and whatever camaraderie he and Daniel developed is destroyed. Daniel and Sean run off and Daniel is left with the guilt over his actions and regret over his broken friendship with Chris.

b. Chris, still believing he's the one with the powers, is afraid of what will happen now that 'he's' hurt his father. Daniel, having developed a close bond to him, refuses to leave Chris, and Sean reluctantly complies because he's seen how dangerous Chris' home life is and doesn't feel right leaving him (not to mention Chris could tell someone about Daniel's powers.), so they take him with them.

c. Basically the same as B, but Chris realizes Daniel's the one with powers. Now, not only does Sean definitely not trust him to keep quiet, but during the altercation Charles became so violent Chris is now too afraid to stay with him and begs the brothers to take him with them.

d. A twist on Scenario 2b: Chris /is/ the one who hurts his father! This is actually one of the more likely scenarios I can see happening. He sees Charles threatening Daniel/Sean and he panics and shoots him (I'm not just blurting this out either. I find that whole sequence where Chris shoots Charles with the nerf gun suspicious on its own, but added to how you can find several more toy guns littered around the household and the ad for gun-shooting in their mailbox, and it creates an unsettling sense of foreboding). Daniel and Sean either leave him behind to deal with what he's done alone or take him with them before the police can get there.
